<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1841805, member: 28199&quot;]Neither of my kids are interested in the collection (other than what it&#039;s worth when I&#039;m gone<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; My granddaughter is moderately interested, but I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s really the coins, or just being with &quot;Pappap&quot;.&nbsp; I have set aside mint and proof sets for each from the years they were born.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am, however, going to try another experiment.&nbsp; A friend of mine has an 11 year old son with Asberger&#039;s Disease (mild autism).&nbsp; He&#039;s not a bad kid, but can be a handful for her as a single mother with two other children.&nbsp; She mentioned before Christmas that he likes to go through tokens and coins, hunts for change on floors all the time.&nbsp; I went through some stuff and put together a bag of extra tokens and foreign coins for him.&nbsp; She reported that he absolutely enjoyed himself going through that stuff.&nbsp; Seems the more he focuses on something, the more well-behaved he becomes.&nbsp; So... my next course of action is to get him a Whitman folder for Memorial Cents and some rolls from the bank.&nbsp; He can look through the rolls, fill the holes, and return what he didn&#039;t need for more rolls.&nbsp; I also invited her to bring him to my house and take a look at what I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Win-Win situation for me by the way.&nbsp; The woman works for me, and is one of the best bakers in the state.&nbsp; Always have something good to go with my coffee in the morning two or three times a week![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
